The purpose of this book is educational. I enjoy reading Lois Lowry’s "Number the Stars," and I believe that it is an excellent book for children (and for middle-aged adults such as myself) to read.

This book contains many questions about Lois Lowry’s "Number the Stars" and their answers. I hope that teachers of children will find it useful as a guide for discussions. It can also be used for short writing assignments. The questions in this little guide refer to writing, but students can answer selected questions from this little guide orally or in one or more paragraphs.

I hope to encourage teachers to teach Lois Lowry’s "Number the Stars," and I hope to lessen the time needed for teachers to prepare to teach this book.
